We must be getting old, because although the first thing that we noticed about the Reef Guatemalan Slide sandals ($60) was their use of colorful woven Guatemalan textiles, the second thing we noticed - and with the same amount of glee - was the arch... [More]

Cue the weepy Sarah McLachlan music. If you care about both animals and foot comfort, you're going to want to get a pair of Classic Puppy Print Slip on Shoes ($55). Vans teamed with the ASPCA to create footwear that benefits anti-animal cruelty efforts. It's... [More]

Soludos is continually stepping up their espadrille game, even though it's really unnecessary since we already want to buy another pair of their classic jute slip-ons every summer. But "want" turns quickly into "need" at the sight of these new wedge sandals ($69), perfectly designed... [More]

Sperry Top-Sider wants you to know that it can do a lot more than just boat shoes. Although these laser perforated Clara Ballet flats ($75, on sale) are still designed with a hint of the nautical - the braiding looks like rope, for example -... [More]

It's time to take out the pumice stone and get to work - if you haven't already. These Alexendra Slingbacks ($70) are calling your name and we don't think that the heel-baring shoes would be living up to their full potential if your feet weren't... [More]

Once you pick yourself up a pair of these Jelly Sandals ($147) from Marais USA, there's one fashion decision you'll never have to agonize over again: what to wear to a picnic or a barbecue. The answer will always be these shoes with an outfit... [More]

If you heard us try to describe the Qupid Carol Floral Flat ($30), you might not think the casual summer shoe would be anything you wanted near your closet. We'd paint it as part espadrille, part slingback, and part peep toe, all rendered in a... [More]

These casual slip-ons from Sanuk ($60) are decorated with essentially the same exact rickrack that we used to decorate the pockets of our jeans and overalls in elementary school, and yet we don't have a problem with that. What's going on? Maybe we're just far... [More]

Somehow designer Megumi Ochi makes minimalistic sandals look even simpler than similar cheaper counterparts. Perhaps it's because of her careful construction choices; the Ligno Sandals ($289) use one continuous line as both a toe strap and ankle buckle with loops to hold it all in... [More]

Even though we can't seem to get Miranda Priestly's sarcasm out of our heads when we spy floral accessories, we also can't stop buying them. They're a classic choice, and our latest acquisition is a pair of Standing Elation Flats ($155). They also feature another... [More]

"I have a shopping hunt request for you. I love, love, love these Loeffler Randall shoes but do not love their price tag. I've scoured the internet looking for a dressy flat/sandal hybrid that is elegant enough to wear at my wedding, but sturdy enough... [More]

Hey, it's not like these Gracee Knotted Suede Sandals ($65) are on the cutting edge of fashion, but you don't always need to be balancing on that very precarious line between amazing success and incredible failure. Sometimes you just need a gorgeous cobalt sandal in... [More]

There's perforation - the kind that helps you rip off just the right amount of paper towel and the kind that helps you open FedEx envelopes - and then there's perforation, as found on these Matt Bernson oxfords ($198). These chevron-shaped laser cutouts belong to... [More]

We like the Line Up Sandal's ($40) MO. Keep the construction simple with a single pop of color - no fumbling over buckles or tying up miles of laces - and then bling the hell out of what you've got with pyramid studs and tiny... [More]

Kelly wrote: "Hi! I'm hunting for a pair of yellow flats or low wedges to go with my spring/ summer work wardrobe. I love options with cutouts and need to keep it closed toe or peep toe. I'm a size 6 shoe and would like... [More]

Are we a little jaded when it comes to summer sandals? Sure. Straps here, toes there, whatever. But these Charlotte Stone Dot Sandals ($128) have perked us up; instead of a thong strap, they're held on your feet by a minimal post with a circle... [More]

We'd still take the standard white Vans slip-on sneakers any day of the week, but we're not going to say no to this stylish collaboration between the classic sneaker company and Madewell. These Paisley Slip-Ons ($55) add a little casual minimalist style - Madewell's default... [More]
